Christopher's Story
GWU D.C. B.Sc. Physics with distinction 1973.
Michigan State 1 quarter. Applied Math. Left, environment too boring.
University Wisconsin Madison M.Sc. Comp Sci. Switched away from Math. 1976 - 1980.
Turned down research offer from mathematical programming Prof. Turned to IT industry.
35 years in SW development, ended with SW testing. Retired 1 Jan 2018.
Still know first boss at Sperry, now called Unisys. Moved in 1988 to Vienna Austria. Best decision I made: got married (still am) at 38. One daughter. Permanently in Vienna. In retirement, returned to my first love physics, just reading popular books. Seldom looking at equations. Have plenty books...Expand for more
in cosmology, quantum/particle/classical physics, molecular biology (epigenetics/CRISPR/CAS9, cancer), nuclear war and policies, psychology, plus ordinary best sellers here and there. Oops, loads of IT books as well. Don't watch TV, seldom movies (2 a year, despite sizable collection). Beat bladder cancer, stopped chain-smoking. Beat pancreatitis twice, enough, don't drink since 2010. Healthy so far.
UPDATE 4 Sept 2022. Still healthy, lift weights. Post on Instagram and Twitter (cwp393, cwp3933 or switch order if problem). Will soon leave Twitter. Don't expect timely answers, I'm very busy. Prefer hearing from people I knew and was friends with.
